'If you could hear the voice of God, would you keep it a secret?' This modern and very human historical drama on the story of St.Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits in Paris in 1534 - often called 'The Saint of Second Chances'- is an incisive and thrilling look at the life of the real man behind the legend.

In his lifelong quest to become the heroic knight of his fantasies, Ignatius stares death in the face again and again, having his leg shattered by a cannonball in battle; driven to near suicide by his inner demons; finding himself imprisoned, accused of being an illuminati; and finally finding his life in the hands of the Inquisition.

Through it all, Ignatius comes to see the hand of God working in his life, shaping the self-obsessed sinner into the loyal and passionate soldier-saint.

Ignacio de Loyola is a 2016 Philippine historical drama film directed by Paolo Dy in his directorial debut. The film stars Andreas Muñoz, a Spanish actor in the title role.
